Greetings from Our Blog 2011-12

Welcome!  This is the start of many interesting things to come on this blog which was created to feature the work of students in U.S. History - Period B - class.  Our first of many blog assignments was to read aloud the play INHERIT THE WIND.  Certain students observed the play as part of an international press corps which attended this trial of the century or so-called "monkey trial."  Mr. John Scopes, a high school Biology teacher, went on trial for teaching the ideas of Darwin on evolution.  (In the play he is called Mr. Cates.)  These "reporters" wrote their articles about this trial in a variety of languages.  Other class members were asked to read any one of these articles, and to write a comment on it (using the COMMENT feature of the blog).  Enjoy!
